...for the biggest audience for a comedy show in English

Ricky Gervais has set an attendance record for the biggest English-speaking comedy show in France.

His show at the Paris Accor Arena on Saturday as part of his Mortality tour, had a paid attendance of 12,179 people.

Gervais said: ‘I still can’t believe I sell out arenas in my own country, let alone around the world. I’m over the moon, as we say in England.’

The Mortality tour includes  future gigs in Dublin, Vienna, Oslo, Zurich, Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen , Stockholm, and Prague, Los Angeles and New York. While in London he plays  14 nights at the Palladium, and three dates at the OVO Arena Wembley.

After the gig he posted a picture of himself on a private jet:
